Earlier this week, actor Rebel Wilson found herself being forced into making a choice: come out to the world and publicly state that she is in a relationship with fashion designer Ramona Agruma, or face being "outed" by a gossip columnist.

Rebel's choice to announce her relationship on her own terms was widely applauded, as many felt it was unfair that she'd been forced to disclose who she was dating to begin with, and wondered why is a woman dating another woman considered headline news in 2022?

The Quicky speaks to a queer studies academic, an advocate for the LGBTIQA+ community, and a celebrity who faced her own public coming out, to find out what impact the threat of being publicly "outed" has on a person, whether they are famous or not.
